2016 Walkathon

We had a beautiful day to celebrate our new improved Walkathon (do you remember last year, when it was raining?) This year, for the first time, the whole school walked the same path and we walked with our buddy grades. All in our CrAzY SoCkS! We walked down the driveway, past the houses, along Hovell's Creek, under the bridge, behind Coles, past the skatepark, past the ovals, through Lara Secondary College, and back to school. Back at school there were sausages, muffins, cookies, icy-poles, music and a nice cool-down spray from Mrs Bennett. 

Thanks to our very own Mrs Newman for organising this wonderful event. Thanks also to the parents who came for a walk with us to help keep us safe. Finally, thanks to the families who have sent their sponsorship money along. For those who haven't, we'd love to have it back next term. Remember, you can pay using QKR! The money raised is going towards a new playground for the 3/4 area. That means we can use it next year! Great job, everyone!

Easter Rotations

With Easter just around the corner, we decided it would be appropriate to have some Easter fun. So each grade 2 class visited each grade 2 teacher, making something Easter-y along the way. We made Easter baskets with Mr Beck, Easter chickens with Mrs Bennett and a hatching Easter egg with Mrs Newman. As always, it was fun mixing things up a bit! Oh, and of course the Easter Bunny delivered eggs into our baskets!

Maths

In Maths we are are learning to measure centimetres with a ruler. We know that we begin measuring from the zero, not from the edge of the ruler. We know that centimetres can be written more quickly as cm. Here we are measuring some snakes - Snakey, Headless, Tail-free and Stretchy.
